"Enjoy pool service from Carpenters Hall while splashing around in this shady pool. Bites like charcuterie boards, veggies and hummus, and burgers are available. It serves classic cocktails, beer, and wine. Reserve a day pass or buy a summer membership online. In addition, the hotel holds regular splash pool parties with live music." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Located near the Austin City Limits Music Festival, offering special events and amenities during the festival." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A cozy, youthful neighborhood hub with a couch-filled coffee shop, located on the edge of Zilker Park. The accommodations mix industrial bones with contemporary light design." - The MICHELIN Guide
"I’ve been behind on my reading so I wanted to take myself out to a no-distractions solo dinner to finish my latest book. I decided to sit at the bar of the Carpenter Hotel restaurant. The meal was lovely: the bright peach and tomato salad fulfilled my greatest fruit desires; the Gulf fish was plump and paired well with the crispy rice; the carrot cake was not made with any raisins thankfully; and the wine recommendations from the bartender were on-point. And, yes, I nearly finished my book." - Eater Staff
"The Carpenter is a Bunkhouse project taking up residence in a new concrete structure plus a 1948 meeting hall that’s adjacent to a pecan grove touching Zilker Park. Rooms are purposely spare, if a bit stark, with concrete walls, platform beds, vintage bedside sconces, and interesting furniture (stools made in Mexico, rugs and leather chairs made in Austin). Every room has a balcony; book on the west side of the property for views over a trailer park and into the pecan trees—it's a very Austin panorama. That minimalism encourages you to get out and enjoy the public spaces. Carpenter Coffee Bar has already become a day-to-night watering hole, drawing locals looking to knock out an hour of work or set up a meeting. At Carpenter Hall, the restaurant, regiona produce hits the big city in an unpretentious setting." - Mandy Ellis, Allison Bagley
